Taylor Anderson, Virginia teacher, is first American found dead following Japan earthquake, tsunami
ISHINOMAKI, Miyagi--The family of an American woman who died in the March 11 tsunami has presented students at a primary school in Ishinomaki, Miyagi Prefecture, with a collection of 40 of her favorite books.
"I hope you'll read these books, find your dreams and live with courage, like my daughter did," Andy Anderson, 54, said Tuesday to a group of about 60 students during a presentation ceremony at Mangokuura Primary School.
Taylor Anderson, 24, was from the U.S. state of Virginia. She came to Japan in 2008 and worked as an assistant English teacher at several primary and middle schools in Ishinomaki.
On the day of the Great East Japan Earthquake, she made sure her students at Mangokuura were safely evacuated. On her way home, she was killed by the tsunami.
A school Taylor attended in the United States helped establish a fund to buy the book collection, which has been dubbed the "Taylor Library."
"When she was young, once she started reading a book, there was no stopping her. She would read and let her imagination take over," her father said at the ceremony.
Taylor's dream was to become a conduit between Japan and the United States and reading books led to the realization of her dream.
On behalf of all the students, Kaito Hikichi, 12, thanked Taylor's family in English.
"Miss Taylor talked about Harry Potter, and I felt close to her. I'll think of this book as a symbol of her, and take good care of it," Hikichi said.
Taylor's family plans to also present books to the other six schools where Taylor worked.

Radiation gag backfires on trade minister
Kyodo
Trade minister Yoshio Hachiro crossed swords with the media Thursday by attempting to rub his body against a journalist after touring the stricken Fukushima power plant, sources said Friday.
"I'll give you radiation," he reportedly said to the journalist.
The apparent prank by the minister in charge of the power industry is likely to cast Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda's Cabinet in a bad light as takes on the nuclear crisis triggered on March 11.
After the news of his stunt broke, Hachiro said: "My memory isn't clear" and admitted approaching a reporter for a reason he didn't elaborate on.
Hachiro was already in hot water for a separate remark in the morning.

NEWS...
Other japoliticiuns with a god complex (I though it was a prerogative of the emperor only) start to think that all those people taking measure by themselves are really bad for the partyline:

Nobuteru Ishihara wants to stop people taking measure... Because after all, when you got smartasses like Tepco in charge, you don't need to listen to anybody else for your safety news...
